Default Question for those with H&R street CO, who added Neuspeed or Hsport

rear sway bar:

Is it really worth it?

What exactly have you noticed without changing alignment, height, weight distribution?

Default

I did it in the reverse order, but the total setup was nice.

Default I decided to do without a larger rear swaybar

I have a bad feeling the rear end might come out with the inside tire being lifted and so much load being put on the outside rear tire. This is my gut feeling but I could be wrong.

I think my stiff springs (650/750lb/in) are good enough to control rolling without getting a larger rear bar.

You're not still running that setup are you? How did it fare on the track?

Default I swapped for some Motorsports (Koni). The H&Rs were better than stock on the track.

Just no adjustments other than corner balancing.

Default I tried the Neuspeed 19mm for a while with the H&R Streets. (m)

I felt the rear of the car wasn't as grounded with the Neuspeed bar in place. Corners that I could previously take pretty tight made the rear feel like it could come lose with the thicker bar. I went back to just the H&R's and like it better, I didn't notice any real increase in body roll with the stock swaybar.

Default I've got a neuspeed 22mm rear bar.

Much more neutral car now, at auto-x's I have silly oversteer with the bar on full stiff, it's pretty fun!

It makes a huge difference...
